Face Of Cheam

A regular visit to the Albert Hall for the opening Teenage Cancer Trust Show. Daltrey opened proceedings with a couple of acoustic country songs. His replacement guitraist (as Simon Townshend could not make it) then did a solo song, before Kelly Jones of Stereophonics fame came on. He did Maybe Tomorrow and Dakota before Ron Wood and Paul Weller jopined him for the Faces Ooh La La. Paul Weller was next with an acoustic set which thankfully was not all new material. Out Of The Sinking and You Do Something To Me were the highlights. After a break, Roger Daltrey and band came on with Who Are You, Kids Are Alright and Behind Blue Eyes, before he introduced Amy MacDonald. She did two songs from her first album, Mr Rocknroll and This Is The Life before covering Springsteens Born To Run. Steve Winwood was then dragged out for a fine audience pleasing Higher Love and Gimme Some Loving. Daltrey returned for sosme more Who songs, including Baba O'Reilly upon which Ron Wood and Kelly Jones returned although you would not notice if their guitars were plugged in or not. Blue Red & Grey which Daltrey played solo on ukelele and Without Your Love ended a great night.
